The "Donald Duck song" (also known as "No One But Donald Duck", listed on ASCAP as "Stock 'Duck' Main Title #2") was the theme song for Donald Duck's cartoons from 1947 (Donald's Dilemma) to 1959 (How to Have an Accident at Work). Today, it stands as his official theme song. None of the lyrics (except for the second-to-last line) describe him accurately.
In the House of Mouse episode "Gone Goofy", Goofy sings a disco version of the song to pay tribute to Donald. In addition, an instrumental version of the song occasionally plays in the background in scenes focusing on Donald, such as in the episode "The Stolen Cartoons" for example.
In the 2004 film Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas, During the Christmas Impossible segment, Donald can be heard humming this song while showering in a flashback.
In 2009, a re-recorded short version of the song is used for the Classic Cartoons segment for Have a Laugh!, featuring Tony Anselmo's newly recorded lines.
In the Mickey Mouse episode "New Shoes", Goofy (having swapped places with Donald) quotes the lyrics while being tormented.
There was a musical snowglobe made that features Donald and his nephews in a teacup, which plays a snippet of this song as their teacup spins.
Lyrics[]
Who's got the sweetest disposition?
One guess. Guess who?
Who never, never starts an argument? (Woman: Hmm?)
Who never shows a bit of temperament?
Who's never wrong but always right? (Donald: Yeah?)
Who'd never dream of starting a fight? (Donald: That so?!)
Who gets stuck with all the bad luck?
No one... (Donald: WAAAK!!) but Donald Duck! (Donald: Yeah!)
He's got a lot of talent
And a lot of style (Donald laughs)
Which is a way of saying
(Donald: I am versatile!)
He's got an even temper
And a winning smile
He only gets excited
(Donald: Once in a while)
He plays a hot piano
And a hot guitar
He goes around the city
In fancy cars (Honk honk! Donald: Yoo hoo!)
He dines on chocolate ice cream
And a candy bar
'Cause after all remember
(Donald: I'm a movie star!)
Who's never wrong but always right? (Donald: Yeah?)
Who'd never dream of starting a fight? (Donald: That so?!)
Who gets stuck with all the bad luck?
No one... (Donald: WAAAK!!) but Donald Duck! (Donald: Yeah!)
(Donald: "Donald Duck?" That's me!)
